Competitor Research – What Your Competitors are up to
If you knew what your competitors were up to, it gives you an edge and enables you to differentiate yourself – highlighting the key differences between you. Often they won’t be anything like as good as you may fear, and we show you step by step to go about this – ethically of course.

Chamber Webinar – Supplier Management
So many businesses have critical services underpinned by a contract with 3rd parties, but how well are these relationships managed until things go wrong, or contract renewal is approaching?
Pro-active management of your companies supply chain is so valuable in ensuring you receive the services you pay for, to the agreed timescales as well as to pro-actively prepare for contract renewals to put you, the customer, in the driving seat of the negotiations.

Success Measurements: Joe Mills, The Tree Academy
Wherever you are in the world things are likely to be tough with the COVID-19 restrictions you’re living under. In the UK we’re still in Lockdown #3, which has for many felt like the most challenging.
Noticing a distinct difference in the concerns people were raising with me, across the landscape of business and into personal lives, I decided to create these key theme videos to help as much as I can.
Each day we use measurements in our lives, those different types of evidence we continually gather to determine how ‘successful’, happy, satisfied or fulfilled we feel, and if we’ve achieved what we intended to.
I hope after watching this you’ll feel inspired to Zoom In and Re-Focus on an area of your life, so your measurements reflect the life you have now and what you would like to create for your future.
A huge thank you again to Lightweight Media for being so brilliant to work with on this project.
